Denmark, Netherlands react to Trump's DEI ultimatum
-
Summary
Denmark and the Netherlands criticized Trump’s demand that foreign companies with U.S. government contracts eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
Denmark called for a coordinated EU response, labeling the move a potential trade barrier.
The Trump administration sent letters to European firms—including in France and Belgium—warning they must comply with a DEI ban or risk losing U.S. contracts.
European officials condemned the letters, defending DEI as essential to corporate responsibility. The EU Commission is reviewing the situation, while the U.S. State Department called the effort a compliance measure.
Eat shit trumpo.
That's all. That's the only answer we should be giving the orange cunt. We need to consider the US an enemy country until things change, because that's how they are treating us.

I'm pretty sure that eliminating DEI is against EU law, so I'm not sure how they are supposed to conform (and, of course, they shouldn't). Maybe sue the US government for breach of contract and move on.

Suing won't have any effect as the US can simply refuse to follow the rules. There is a simpler way: don't do business with them. Let them find the hard way that the world can and will go on without them but they can't go on without the world.

I love that this article expands DEI into diversity, equity, and inclusion. It's important to remember that diversity, equity, and inclusion are not primarily political devices, but a set of moral ideas meant to improve human wellbeing and harmony. DEI is used as a political device by people who are not driven by a desire for human wellbeing.

No argument from this US Citizen.

So now he thinks he can make demands extraterritoriality, awesome. I don't suppose he would make demands like 'stop invading and murdering you neighbor countries and their people' now would he? Nah, let's drop sanctions from Russia and who is this Israel place that he was meant to stop from doing bad things, I haven't heard much on them of late....

If you give this orange shit stain an inch, he'll take a mile! Best to remember that.

That is a very insightful comment and I thank you for sharing it with us all - and it bears repeating:
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are a set of moral ideas meant to improve human well-being and harmony.
Therefore, to be opposed to diversity, equity, and inclusion would imply that one is not driven by a desire for human well-being.
I will remember this. Thank you. (Nice username!)

TIL Equity isn't always regarding to money. I thought the E in DEI stood for equality until now.

As a US citizen, I consider the current administration an enemy, too.

He can demand the world from Denmark and France, yet he can't demand anything about the guy his admin wrongly deported to El Salvador?

The message is: don't do business with the USA. Find other, more reliable trading partners. It may be a loss in the short term, but bowing to fascist imperialism will be a much bigger loss overall.

But if the US asks for Europe to consider American opinions, wouldn't that in itself be diversity?! Paradoxical!

Ericsson did it, so can't be that much against EU law. Though maybe they can sneak around it by being huge and multinational?
